Hi,

I've got two Windows Server 2022 machines that are in DHCP Failover hot-standby configuration.

In addition, within the hot-standby configuration there are a number of scopes.

My question are:

1-  I need open TCP port 647 to listen for failover messages between two failover partner servers. bidirectional right?

2 - What port does IP-Helper use for relaying DHCP requests? Do you need to open UDP ports 67 and 68 between dhcp server and dhcp client? In other words, if there is a Firewall between the client that will get ip address from DHCP and DHCP Servers, is there any need to open any ports? If yes, which ports need to be opened?
